Desperately need to sell

This has been a crazy summer. 2 years ago I was married and living in my dream house. 1 year ago I was divorced, and moved back in with my parents. A month after I moved into my parents I decided to start looking at houses. ( First mistake). I found a house, spent alot of money and moved in. The house has been nothing but a nightmare. I lost my job, and took a crappy job just to pay the mortgage. Back in May I did some work to the house and I decided to put the house up for sale and see what happens.

3 full price offers on day one. I couldn't believe it. My realtor is new, kinda a friend of mine, and I felt like we were accomplishing something.

Here we are today, the buyer couldn't get financing. I'm scared and nervous. Sometimes I feel my realtor cares other times I don't know what to think.

Here is my dilemma.

The people that own the house behind me, also own the house next to them. I was able to get into contact with them and they told me they can offer me cash for the house, and close quickly.

I am going to talk to them more tonight, but if all goes well, I decided this is what I want to do. I told them we don't need to use realtors , and Aldo gave them a little lower price, the house needs some work,and they know it. It would make it equal to what I would get if they I went through a realtor with, either way it's equal for me.

I was thinking of talking to my realtor and asking her to release the contract. I don't think she will be a jerk, but you never know. I just want to get this done. And this part of my life behind me.

Am I able to fire her, and sell house on my own? Should I ask her ? What should I do?

Thank you

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
